The Apocalypse [The Original]

Ch. 5

They landed the ship in the woods near the school. Jason got out and turned to Jet and Wave.
"Now, I'm going in alone. All right? But if anything happens, you come in, okay."
"Okay." answered Jet.
"Got it." answered Wave.
He turned around and headed toward the school. The buses were just arriving. When one of the students got off, he spotted Jason.
"Oh, my god." he whispered. He ran into the school and went into the principal's office. "Mr. Stevenson! Mr. Stevenson!" he ran right up to the desk. "Jason's here."
The principal looked at him, stunned. Then he picked up the phone and dialed a number. "Mrs. Bower?
Your son's here." He heard the phone drop and then hung up. As Jason neared the entrance, all the students just stopped and looked at him. He looked back at them and then he spotted Mike. He walked up towards him, but instead of attacking Jason, he just looked at him. Then Jason raised his hand and aimed his palm at Mike.
"What's he doing." a couple kids asked each other. Jason's hand turned white and so did Mike's whole body. Jason raised his hand up a little bit and Mike got lifted up in the air.
"Hey! What're you doing? Put me down!"
"You want down? You got it."
His hand stopped glowing white and Mike fell to the ground. He got up and ran inside screaming. Jason continued to walk toward the front door. The students made a path for him. They didn't want to be lifted up in the air either. He burst into the school and leaned against the wall furthest from the entrance. The rest of the kids slowly walked into the school and then fast-walked to their lockers.
"Step 1, payback, complete. Now it's time for step 2."

Jet was looking out the window."This is boring."
"Patience, Jet. Something will happen s--. What's that."
"What's what?" He looked. "It's just a car, Wave. Calm down."
"Not the car. Look up in the sky."
Jet looked up. In the sky was a giant battle cruiser.
"Mekkaku! We have to help Jason."
He stood up but Wave grabbed his wrist.
"Jet... He said if he needs help."
"Then I'm going for back-up."
He freed himself from her grasp and ran to the door. He stopped in front of the door. Standing there was a metal hedgehog that looked like Mekkaku.
"Who are you?"
"I am Metal Sonic."
The robot punched Jet in the face knocking him on his back. Metal Sonic raised his arms. A blow torch came out of its left hand. He used his right hand to slam the door then used the blow torch to seal the door shut. Jet got off of the floor and started banging on the door.
"Let us out! Come on!"
"Jet, it's no use."
Jason saw the ship coming and his mom's car pull up to the front entrance. It was raining hard now. His mom came running in through the doors.
"Jason!" she yelled. She ran right up to him. "Where have you been, I was so worried!"
"It's raining pretty hard, isn't it?"
"...What?"
"The rain."
"I know. Where have you been?"
He stared up at the ceiling. He started to get a feeling, like he could sense something.
"Well, that's new."
"What are you talking about?"
There was a loud whining sound.
"I have to go, now."
He started walking away from his mom.
"Where are you going?"
Just then a missile came crashing through the front doors, headed straight for Jason. It just missed his mom by a couple inches. Jason started running. The missile followed him. He looked back then forward again.
"Heat-seekers."
He ran faster. Up the stairs and turned down a hallway. All the students watched as he ran past them in the hallway. He came to an intersection. Left or right. He turned around. The missile was getting closer. The kids watched the action that was taking place. He held up his hand and it started to glow white again. The missile stopped in front of him.
"Ugh. Can't... hold it... much longer. Everyone... get into a classroom, now!"
All the kids in the hall ran to the closest classroom. Once they were all inside a room, Jason leaped over the missile and threw it into the wall. The explosion shook the hallway and Jason flew back and smacked into the wall. He fell to the floor. There was a hole and some cracks in the wall where he hit. A hole exploded in the ceiling and Mekkaku appeared.
"I see you still haven't gotten used to your powers, Jason."
"I stopped the missile, didn't I?"
He looked at the hole behind him. "Yeah, you stopped it pretty well."
He took off at full speed and hit Jason, sending them both crashing through three classrooms, just missing the students. He could hear their screams as he crashed through the walls. He punched Mekkaku in the face and kicked his leg. He dropped Jason. Jason picked up eight desks with his levitation powers and sent them hurtling towards Mekkaku. Mekkaku held up his arm to block his face. Six of the desks, he blocked. The other two sent him crashing through a wall. Jason ran after him. They ended up at the spiral staircase. Mekkaku got up and ran at Jason. Jason jumped over the rail and fell down the center of the stairs. He landed on the first floor and continued to run. Mekkaku broke through the floors and ended up right behind Jason. They ran through the hallway and into the cafeteria. Jason swerved around and vaulted over tables while Mekkaku just threw them to the side. The tables broke apart as they crashed into the walls. Jason looked up at the balcony on the second floor. He jumped up and over the balcony on the second floor. When he landed, he saw his mom standing there.
"Mom!"
Mekkaku jumped up and over the balcony and landed behind Jason. Jason turned around and Mekkaku grabbed him by the face. Mekkaku threw Jason into the wall next to his mom. He fell to the floor along with pieces of the wall. He looked up and saw that his mom did not move.
"Get to the Guidance office, now!"
His mom looked at him for a minute then ran to the Guidance office. He turned around to face Mekkaku. Mekkaku took a step towards Jason then stopped. He looked to his left and then looked at Jason and said, "We'll finish this another time." He took a step back and then took off through the roof.

"Wait!" Jason yelled. Just then a table hit Jason sending him crashing into the wall. He concentrated his energy into a shock wave sending the desk pieces flying. He stood up and looked to see what happened. He saw a silver hedgehog running towards him. Must be with Mekkaku, he thought. He ran at the hedgehog and before the hedgehog was able to attack, Jason slid under him and kicked him in the back. The hedgehog went flying forwards, then his whole body glowed white and he just floated in the air. The hedgehog turned around to face Jason.
"You're fast." the hedgehog commented with a smile.
"Who are you?" Jason asked.
"I'm Silver. Silver the Hedgehog."
"Well, Silver, it's time to end this."
They ran at each other again. This time Jason tackled Silver and they rolled down the hall and stopped in front of the Guidance office. Silver got up slowly and looked down. Some of the tiles on the floor were lose when they were rolling down the hall. He used his levitation powers to pick them up. Jason got up and looked at Silver. The tiles started spinning around Silver. One by one the tiles flew at Jason. he dodged them all, but the last one he grabbed using his levitation powers and throwing it right back at Silver. Silver ran at Jason at full speed. When Silver was close enough to strike, Jason kicked him through the wall. He flew into the Guidance office, tumbled a bit, and then came to a stop after hitting a metal desk. Jason climbed through the hole and walked up to Silver. Silver slowly opened his eyes and looked up at Jason. he wanted to get up and continue fighting but he was too weak.
"So, Silver, how should we end this?"
He looked around and spotted a chair. He reached over, picked it up, and broke one of the legs off.
"Ahh, this should do it. Ready to die, hedgehog?"
He raised the chair leg and was about to swing when he heard a voice behind him.
"Stop!"
Jason and Silver turned to see who it was. They saw a purple cat-like human.
"Don't kill him!"
"Why not?"
She didn't answer. He turned back around and looked at Silver. He raised the metal chair leg again. He tightened his grip on it.
"Please don't do it. Please." pleaded the cat.
Jason looked at her and then he looked over and noticed a few teachers and his mom watching. They were all looking to see what would happen. He turned back to Silver then closed his eyes tightly and opened them again.
"Don't do it!!" she yelled.
He raised the chair leg even higher and swung.
